already appeared in the INrkLLlaEScER. :
Boon after the occurrence above men.

Mayor: Six or seven persons, mostly
from about the depot, were at the ahow
last week, and had itlaid for young man
who was summoned IS a witness in
whisky case. They had Feeney worked
up to strike the first blow, but it is lucky
ne dld not do it, for wo were on to the
racket and were waiting for the fight to
begin. Because Of the cowardice Of the
crowd they did not start it. There would
nave been no arrests attempted, but our
orders to the police and three or four men
connected with the show were to cJub

Mayor Richards is posing an martyr
to big political creed, and in bis struggles
to exsricate himself from the predicsment
INTO which his spleen has placed him, ho
endeavors to create the impression that
Inc motive prompting the request to i'm.
peach Is the result Of his fidelity to the
Republican party. It is abso!rtely .un.
true that politics has anything to do with
TINS matter. Upon the question to pus.
tain the Jurisdiction OF tho Council, Msior
Lee Raymond and @. M. Hart were two Of
the three members voting yea. and both
Of these gentlemen are well known in
w neellng and all over the State as promi-
nent and loyal Republicans. Major Hay-

State Executive Committee, and Com
mender. OF the Grand Army of the Rp-
public Of West Virginia. The result of
the trfat is awaited with keen anxiety. ~

SHERMAN'S CHANCES.

Extraordinary Interest will DO Taken In the
Proceedings and an Exciting time ,j

TOLEDO, Ono, July 2e.-Although the
Republican State Convention does not
meet until tomorrow afternoon at four
o'clock, and not over one.hslf Of the dele.
gates have yet arrived, the hotels are
crowded. Extraordinary interest Is taken
in the proceeding because Of the fact that
a resolution will DO offered indorsiug Sen.
ator Sherman for the Presidential nomina.
ton. The convention Ia reality ia Of ma.
lonal Importance and this accounts Tor
the tremendous attendance. Va
There Is no doubt that tho resolution
will carry in the Convention. The two
things in doubt are how strongly 1t will
be opposed on the floor Of that body, and
whether the opposition can muster the
support and strength to break the favor
before the country Of the endorsement
The opponents OF tho resolution claim
they can control at least ouo.third OF tho
convention while the supporters OF 1t de.
claro that 1t will go through with whirl,
! Senator Sherman arrived as 5 o'clock
this evening. He was met by tho Recep.
ton Committee and several local Repub.
lican clubs with music, who escorted him
to his hotel. Governor Foraker Is de.
tanned at the capitol by business and will
not arrive until o'clock tomorrow.
COMPROMISING on THE RESOLUTION.
Several anti.Sherman men arrived on
late trains, summoned here by telegraph.
The evening has been spen. in efforts at
Cancellation, and the Senator'S friends
claim at midnight that there will be
no serious opposition to tho passage Of
the resolution Of endorsement. 1t aesms
probable ut this writing that the policy Of
concilistion will win, the argument being
tha. the resolution can have no binding
effect upon the Convention next year to
select delegates to the National Conven.
ton; that:sherman's long and aplsndid
service entities him to a reso.
luton OF endorsement and that
the Ohio Republicans cannot Afford
to practically slaughter their greatest
man. Tho resolution OF endorsement will
be introduced tomorrow early in the seq
sion, and not be postponed to Thursday
as was at first proposed. Ii there is no
opposition 1t will be referred to the Com.
nittee on Revolutions and BE- reported on

scribed as follows: While the Queen was
